Records of a body organized in 1991 to develop and implement a statewide policy to contain the escalating costs of health care services and capital expenditures while promoting quality care and geographic access for all Wisconsin citizens. The program applied to capital expenditure projects proposed by hospitals, clinics, and other health care providers that exceeded $1 million and to service and supply projects that exceeded $500,000. The commission became defunct in 1995.

Project records include application forms, correspondence, project analyses, and commission rulings. Many files include supplementary information about the applicant institution. Some cases that were appealed to the courts include legal documents including transcripts and declaratory rulings. Five community hearings are documented by tape recordings. The project files are arranged alphabetically by institution name.

Administrative records include files on the development of the administrative rules that governed the commission, correspondence, minutes of meetings of the commission and its advisory council, and information on the hospital cost index produced by the commission.
